Class Preferences

java.lang.Object
  extended by processing.app.Preferences

public class Preferences
extends java.lang.Object

Storage class for user preferences and environment settings.

This class no longer uses the Properties class, since properties files are iso8859-1, which is highly likely to be a problem when trying to save sketch folders and locations.

This is very poorly put together, that the prefs panel and the actual prefs i/o is part of the same code. But there hasn't yet been a compelling reason to bother with the separation.

Field Detail

BUTTON_WIDTH

public static int BUTTON_WIDTH
Standardized width for buttons. Mac OS X 10.3 wants 70 as its default, Windows XP needs 66, and my Ubuntu machine needs 80+, so 80 seems proper.

BUTTON_HEIGHT

public static int BUTTON_HEIGHT
Standardized button height. Mac OS X 10.3 (Java 1.4) wants 29, presumably because it now includes the blue border, where it didn't in Java 1.3. Windows XP only wants 23 (not sure what default Linux would be). Because of the disparity, on Mac OS X, it will be set inside a static block.
